OK for those who don't know, my wife was hit by a car riding her bike 4 months ago. She had a tough road to recovery, but she did it. Once she was better and told me she was ready to ride, I told her I would get her a new diamond ring. She said "Hell no !! I want a Ruby, and not just any Ruby a Specialized Ruby". :eek: After that statement I went to La Habra cyclery and got her the Specialized Ruby Comp. After picking up the bike we went for a short ride (17 miles) and she felt great (both Kristine and the Ruby).
I don't want to sound too mushy, I am soooo glad she is back riding with me :beer:

BTW she will be riding with at La River ride this weekend!!!

Thanks all. Had it not been for all the support, caring I have seen in this forum things would have been tough the last few months. Gabriel and I are VERY excited that Team Wheaties will now be back at full force.

Beanz, yes it's a compact.

Bernie look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

MoPhat and RaiderDave She would have preferred Red like the Angels NOT the Red Sox, or my beloved Purple and Gold
